Attn Wiggs. Is Greece the "black swan" that finally tips it over?

[_aj_]

No sad faces, buddy. There's always room for one more at the Archer compound.

Here too. I can always use another "volunteer" to clear minefields by dancing the Macarena.

When the slaves rose up against the Annunaki, the Gods flooded the planet. Maybe it's time for another flood(Enema).

The Euro was always a suicide pact and now it is a game of chicken.

The thing about the current Greek leadership is that they really don't give a fuck. The austerity programs that the ECB and the IMF demanded have turned the population into a raging mob and if this current group doesn't lift the yoke, they will throw them out and get somebody that will. Unless "Europe" (whatever the fuck that is) is going to put Greece under martial law, the end is already ordained, it just needs to be written.

Europe wanted to punish the Greeks for their fiscal profligacy. History is a bitch, because it was Europe's desire to punish Germany after WWII that led to Weimar which ultimately paved the way for Hitler.

Boring, boring, boring......

Its all about the tranny cock aj.

As more and more Mexicans move into the States, the less debt America will be able to sell.

For those who think a collapse is eminent what is your projected timeline?

Let's go with  another 10 years.

Thanks but knooger has already decided to take me in. I just have to do "things" for him. 

[Archer77]

This sounds right to me.

This sounds right to me.

I could live with that. I still have a lot more "prepping" to do.

I dont have the numbers in front of me but the point of debt payments exceeding tax revenue reaching critical mass is likely within ten years.  Dr. Chimps is an old hippy lefty but I think he knows what hes talking about in terms money issues.

[Wiggs]

No way in hell this is lasting another 10 years. 2 years tops and any time before that.

2020 by earliest according to numbers I unfortunately dont have in front of me.  Having said that you might very well be right. Im not discounting your prediction.   Thank god I own close to 100 acres in the UP.

The world economy won't just crash. It'll be blamed on something else. There's no way in hell, politicians and bankers will take fault in this. The people would revolt. They'll false flag something or have a world war and it will be blamed on that. It should have crashed years ago but it keeps being propped up artificially. They can't do that forever and we're seeing it come apart very fast. Too hard to put an exact date on it.

[SaintAnger]

Heebs love a good conspiracy.  Makes it easier for them to make excuses and avoid using & formulating a plan of action.

Dont think I'm saying your dates are wrong.  I have a sweet retreat.  A small town of about 300 people about half of whom are related to my wife.  I bought up the plot of land next to my original land from the kids of a farmer who recently  died.

[Voice of Doom]

It looks like the current issue of Greece running out of money at the end of February has been kicked down the road 6 months.  In 6 months they'll likely add more debt to pay for the current debt and kick the can again.

[SilverSpoon]

And the banks that are too big to fail will be bailed out once again.

And the executives will still get huge bonuses on the bail out money.

[Slapper]

The Euro was robbery on a scale never seen before.

The things that used to cost 66 cents in a local currency became 1 euro almost overnight. The rounding up was deliberate and planned years in advance, otherwise the people would've never bought onto the Euro idea.

I don't think so.

I personally know of a small town in Greece in which the population is so radicalized and enraged at everything that is going on that they actually are planning attacks on banks and the bank's bosses.

Did aj call wigs a black swan?

Racist thread reported.

This is exactly what I am talking about. I am no man's "socialist" but the corporatist bankers and politicians of the ECB and the IMF were crushing the Greek people. And they woke up and remembered that they could do something about it.

Woe betide the EU if more restive countries wake up.

[falco]

    One of the problems Greece has is that they cannot borrow money from anyone else except EuroGroup banks aka German Banks, with the interest rates they dictate. Even if Greece could get better deals from Russia or China or even middle east countries they CANNOT due to restrictions imposed by Germany Eurozone countries.
    All this economic crisis is a great deal to some and a bad to others, and that's why the european comunity is a huge bullshit.

[bigmc]

They dont really have a choice, the alternative still costs more, its just whether their electorate can realise it.

this

germany has to prop the euro up now what ever the cost

the books were cooked so all those countries met the financial conditions in the first place

Problem in a nutshell,  aj. Nailed it.  Their currency is locked. It's only the US's ability to offshore it's debt that has prevented a similar Greece-like situation here.  It's just a momentary reprieve though
